Brendan Rodgers' Celtic will play Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium next month as part of their pre-season preparations.

Celtic, who are coming off the back of an unbeaten domestic campaign, will face Stephen Bradley's team on Saturday, July 8.

In build up to the game Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said that he is very much looking forward to the game and that along with his staff, he identified this fixture as a key part of the build up to the new season and their Champions Legaue qualifying rounds.

“We’re looking forward to going over and taking Celtic to our great supporters in Ireland and it’s good point in the season to get some pre season sharpness,” he said.
